Located at 70 Hotz Avenue in Grayton Beach, this popular and well-loved stop was built within the parameters of a renovated general store! The bar was rebuilt in 2020, but the same ambiance was definitely kept intact. The vibe is decidedly southern from the aesthetic to the menu, while the live music is endlessly enticing as well. The Red Bar has been a favorite amongst locals and visitors alike since first opening its doors in 1995. Between the colorful décor, beautiful beach views, friendly service, and great music, it’s a place well-worth spending an evening or two when you’re visiting this area.
